Endovascular retrieval of contraceptive implant embolized to pulmonary artery

Embolization of subdermally implanted contraceptive devices is a rare but potentially serious event. Timely removal of the embolized foreign body should be considered to prevent possible hemodynamic, respiratory, or hormonal complications. We present a case of a 22-year-old woman with a contraceptiv...

Sumario:Embolization of subdermally implanted contraceptive devices is a rare but potentially serious event. Timely removal of the embolized foreign body should be considered to prevent possible hemodynamic, respiratory, or hormonal complications. We present a case of a 22-year-old woman with a contraceptive implant embolized to her right lower lobar pulmonary artery, which was successfully managed by endovascular retrieval.
